The OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail Voicemail System

Introduction

1 The OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail Voicemail System

1.1 Introduction

The OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail voicemail system enables you to access messages in your OpenScape Xpressions mailbox by telephone.

You can operate the system as individual voicemail system or use it to access your mailbox in a Unified Messaging environment. In this way it is possible to manage all messages delivered to the OpenScape Xpressions mailbox almost exclusively by telephone (TUI) instead of via a client application (Web Assistant, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, Communications etc.).

You can:

• record and send voicemails

• edit messages of different types that have been delivered to your own mailbox. For example, play voicemails, print out fax messages and have e-mails read out, or answer such messages and forward them.

• edit your personal mailbox settings

1.1.1 Mailbox Management via Telephone

With OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail you manage your mailbox via telephone.

OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail allows you to retrieve and manage different types of messages (voicemails, fax messages, e-mails). Furthermore, you can record voice mails for other users and subsequently send these messages. In addition, you can directly address the mailbox of another subscriber to leave a message for this subscriber. You can forward calls received at your extension to your mailbox. The callers will hear a personal greeting or can leave a message in your mailbox. Various special functions, such as the direct connection to the originator of an incoming message, are also included in the scope of features.

All OpenScape Xpressions users have their own mailbox on the OpenScape Xpressions server. With OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail you can access a mailbox via any telephone. This means that you can use an internal telephone connected to your organization's PBX as well as an external telephone, connected to your organization's PBX via a trunk code, to access your OpenScape Xpressions mailbox.

The following sections describe the entire range of functions. If you do not have all services mentioned, the active features are correspondingly restricted.

You find information on operating your mailbox with OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail in Chapter 2, “Operating your Mailbox with OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail”; a short reference to the menus and key commands is found in Chapter 3, “A quick Reference Guide to the Menus and Key Sequences”.

About this Manual

The simple mode

In simple mode you can use the greeting types “temporary greetings”, “alternative greeting” and “regular greetings”. The term “temporary greetings” is composed of the “today greeting” and the “out of office” greeting. The “regular greetings” consist of the greetings for “busy line”, “internal callers”, “external callers”, and “calls outside business hours”. You can record a greeting for each greeting type.

In case of the regular greetings and the alternative greeting for the answering options (answering machine service or infobox service), the simple mode merely allows a global setting. That means, if you set the infobox service, this answering option will apply for all aforementioned greetings.

• “Temporary greetings”The term “temporary greetings” is composed of the “today greeting” and the “out of office” greeting. These greetings serve for fast and easy greeting recording. Both greetings are only valid for a limited period. The “today greeting” expires automatically at 00:00 o'clock on the day of its configuration. The “out of office greeting” expires at 00:00 o'clock of the date specified by the user. Subsequently, the greetings will be played again as previously configured. Activating this greeting type means that for all operating states this greeting will be played. All other greeting types are then overridden. The “temporary greetings” greeting type is directly configured via the answering options menu.

• “Alternative greeting”You can use this greeting type to preconfigure a greeting that you wish to play more frequently to provide special information. When you activate the alternative greeting, all other greetings except for the greeting for calls outside business hours are replaced with the alternative greeting by default.

NOTE: Your administrator can configure the system to also enable replacement of the greeting for calls outside business hours with the alternative greeting. In case of doubt please contact your system adminis-trator.

• “Regular greetings”The regular greetings you record are the ones that are automatically used at specific operating states. You can define one greeting each for the categories busy line, internal caller, external caller and calls arriving outside business hours.

You find details about greeting configuration in simple mode in Section 2.2.6.2, “Personal greetings in simple mode”, on page 56

The extended mode

The extended mode provides the same greeting features as the simple mode. In addition, the extended mode allows recording up to nine different greetings for the alternative greeting respectively the regular greetings.

Furthermore, you can select the answering options (answering machine service or infobox service) per greeting.

The recording procedure and activating the greetings differ from the methods used in simple mode.

You toggle the simple and extended mode from the Answering Options menu, where you push key 9.

About this Manual

You find details about greeting configuration in simple mode in Section 2.2.6.2, “Personal greetings in extended mode”, on page 59

NOTE: Since the greetings are not used for both modes, you may need to record missing ones when switching to the respectively other mode.

1.2.1.6 Usable Features

The administrator can withdraw privileges to restrict the scope of available OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail features. Entire menu branches or menu portions can be excluded from usage. The manual at hand describes all the features that you can use after a standard installation. After a standard installation you can use all features described in the manual. If, nonetheless, functions are not available to you, please ask your administrator for the features that you can use.

The functions that are subject to restricted usage are indicated in the manual by (Privilege).

1.2.1.7 Distribution Lists

You normally enter the recipient’s telephone number when you are sending messages. But you can also enter the number or, with name dialing, the name of a distribution list. The distribution list can be one defined by yourself or a public distribution list created by the system administration. A distribution list may either contain users or additional distribution lists. You can administer your distribution lists via telephone and also via the Web-based configuration interface Web Assistant, (see the OpenScape Xpressions Web Assistant manual) and assign them a distribution list number. Otherwise, the system administrator will set up distribution lists for you.

1.2.1.8 Referral extension

You can define a referral extension. Callers who are forwarded to your mailbox can connect to this OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail referral extension or can be automatically re-directed to this referral extension. This depends on how you have set the answering options in your mailbox. If the Web Assistant is installed, you can administer your referral extension yourself (see the OpenScape Xpressions Web Assistant manual).

NOTE: This feature is available for the voice service only.

1.2.1.9 Callback with busy Line

If you directly call an internal subscriber from OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail whose phone is engaged, your call can be routed to the mailbox of the unavailable subscriber and you can leave a message. Some PBXs also offer the option to request a direct return call from the called subscriber by signaling. If this feature is available to you, a greeting will point this out.

About this Manual

1.2.1.10 Default Printer and Default Fax-Output-Device

With telephone operation, fax messages and e-mails are printed out on default output devices. The commands that you can give in OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail refer to the defaults that you have set in the Web Assistant under Personal settings > Default output devices (see the OpenScape Xpressions Web Assistant manual). On this page you can select one of the network printers offered in the OpenScape Xpressions system or any fax output device internally connected to your PBX. You can default-set printers for the following purposes:

• For automatic fax message output.Activation occurs automatically when you select a printer for this type of output.

• For the output on a standard printer via the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu.This printer is addressed if you output a fax or e-mail on your standard printer via the telephone user interface.

• For the output on a standard fax-output-device (internal only) via the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu.This fax device is addressed if you output a fax or e-mail on your standard fax device via the telephone user interface.

NOTE: You can also directly address an arbitrary fax output device via the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu. See Section 2.2.3.7, “Selection Options for playing Fax Messages and e-mails”, on page 42 in this manual.

1.2.1.11 Storage Restrictions

A maximum storage that your mailbox data may occupy may be defined in the system. If this is the case, a storage control ensures that you are automatically informed about the decreasing storage capacity after reaching a certain threshold. If the storage used by your mailbox has exceeded 100% of the value set by the system administrator, it is no longer possible to send (forward or answer) messages from your own mailbox. If you are registered with the Hicom or HiPath PBX, this also applies to other voicemail service access options.

In this situation, you should delete messages that are no longer needed or contact the system administrator. Regardless of the storage required by your mailbox, other callers can always leave messages for you.

1.2.1.12 Name dialing

Instead of call numbers you can also enter names by selecting the letters assigned to the number keys on the telephone. This is similar to entering short messages using the keypad on your cell phone. To inform the system that you want to use the name dialing function, push the star key before you enter the recipient. In this way you can address single users as well as distribution lists.

While you make your entries, the system constantly checks the database for users or distribution lists that match the character combination keyed in. If matches are found, the system issues up to nine addressing suggestions. The suggestions are announced and shown on the telephone display. If your desired recipient is among the matches, you can directly select him/her by pushing the keys 1 to 9.


Intro.fm


About this Manual

If the system realizes that only one recipient matches the entry you are making, he/she is immediately offered for addressing.

If no recipient matches your entry, the system immediately informs you accordingly by announcement.

1.2.1.13 Message not sent

Messages are automatically moved to the “messages to be sent” draft folder, when you have recorded a message and shut down OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail without entering a recipient address (phone number).

NOTE: After you have entered a phone number, voicemails will be automatically sent when you log off from OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail respectively put the phone down.

When you log on to the system again, the messages will be moved to the outbox folder. You can then access these messages, further process and send them.

1.2.1.14 Company-internal Messages (User Privilege)

PhoneMail supports the type of company-internal message. Via this type a privileged user can enforce specific message properties by sending messages to a distribution list.

After you have addressed a distribution list you can send a message via a special send option (key 5) as company-internal message.

Messages of this type have the following special properties.

• Company-internal messages can only be sent via the PhoneMail TUI.

• Company-internal messages are displayed in the Web Assistant grayed out only, and cannot be opened or edited there.

• Company-internal messages are always played twice by the PhoneMail user before they can be deleted or saved.

• Company-internal messages cannot be forwarded until they have been saved.

• Company-internal messages are managed by PhoneMail in two separate message queues. In a queue for urgent messages and in a queue for not urgent, company-internal messages. The messages in these two queues are announced in the TUI before all other messages.

• While a company-internal message is being played, PhoneMail does not accept any DTMF commands.

• If the PhoneMail user leaves his/her mailbox without deleting or saving the company-internal message, it will be announced as new company-internal message next time the user dials in.

• If the PhoneMail user saves a company-internal message, it will be saved as a standard voice message.

1.2.1.15 Guest Mailboxes (User Privilege)

PhoneMail enables the user to configure up to nine mailboxes for user-individual guests via the Web Assistant. The configuring PhoneMail user can specify an individual PIN for each guest mailbox.

The guest mailbox number, which is the Guest Access user ID at the same time, is generated by PhoneMail from the mailbox number of the PhoneMail user who configures the guest mailbox. For this purpose, a digit is attached to the mailbox number of the configuring user.

Example:A PhoneMail user with the mailbox number 1000 creates four guest mailboxes. For the guest mailboxes PhoneMail then uses as number and user ID the numbers: 10001, 10002, 10003 and 10004.

Guest mailboxes have the following properties.

• A guest may access his/her guest mailbox via the PhoneMail TUI.

• Guest mailboxes may only be accessed via the PhoneMail Direct Access. Access via the Guest or Forward Access is not possible.

• Via guest mailboxes, messages can only be sent, received, answered, deleted and saved. Further features such as notifications or time profiles are not available.

• From a guest mailbox, messages can only be sent to the following persons:

– To the PhoneMail user who has configured the relevant guest mailbox.

– To all other guest mailboxes that have been created by the same PhoneMail user.

• In a guest mailbox, messages can only be received by the following persons:

– From the PhoneMail user who has configured the relevant guest mailbox.

– From all other guest mailboxes that have been created by the same PhoneMail user.

• No trusted numbers can be configured for guest mailboxes.

• No short cuts can be configured for guest mailboxes.

Guest Access to your guest mailbox is possible as follows:

1. Have the user who has configured the guest mailbox for you inform you about the access data:

– The mailbox number created for this guest mailbox.

– The PIN created for this guest mailbox.

2. Log on to the system as described in Section 2.2.1.2, “Dialing your own Mailbox from any Extension:”, on page 31.

1.2.1.16 Configuration Settings via the Web Assistant

Some OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail settings can exclusively be made via the Web Assistant or can be accessed additionally and in parallel to the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu via the Web Assistant.

Settings that you can exclusively perform via the Web Assistant:

• Selecting the voicemail system.

If several voicemail systems are installed on your OpenScape Xpressions server, you can select the desired one in the Web Assistant on the Voicemail system settings page.Make your selection via the Active voicemail system list field.

• Programing shortcuts, with which you can quickly invoke menu functions in OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail.

NOTE: The shortcuts defined here are no shortcuts for telephone numbers but shortcuts for OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu functions. It is NOT possible to configure speed dialing numbers here.

You can program the shortcut keys in the Web Assistant on the Voicemail system settings page. Click the Edit button next to the Programmable short cuts line for this purpose. A new dialog opens in which you can specify the key sequence to be executed for the keys 1 to 9, and a descriptive text for the desired menu invocation.The execution of menu shortcut functions is described in this manual under Section 2.2.5, “Self-defined Key Sequences”, on page 51.

• Allowing the originator to flag voicemails as urgent via the Caller options. You find this option in the Voicemail system settings page of the Web Assistant.

• Retrieving voicemails without user identification (trusted numbers).

NOTE: Please also keep in mind that the caller number has to be transmitted to the voicemail system for authentication. This is only possible for digital switching centers and may have to be released. Therefore, check the corresponding numbers.

NOTE: The numbers defined here must be unique per user. Several users cannot configure the same number(s) as trusted number(s).

NOTE: When you use OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail, you need to activate this feature via the corre-sponding checkbox in the Telematic APL. For further information please refer to the Server Administration manual.

About this Manual

In the Voicemail system settings page of the Web Assistant you can specify a maximum of three phone connections from which you can directly access your mailbox without entering the PIN.

IMPORTANT: If you choose this method, anyone can access your mailbox from one of the three specified telephone connections, because the authentication of the caller by means of the PIN is omitted. So anybody who can use your “trustworthy” telephone may gain (unauthorized) access to your mailbox. A cell phone connection defined as “trustworthy” can also be easily used for unauthorized mailbox access via the repeat dialing function. Please keep this in mind when choosing the telephone numbers.

For internal phones it is sufficient to enter the extension number in the corresponding field in the Web Assistant.

For external telephones you enter the desired numbers completely but without external prefix, thus country code (with + sign instead of leading zeros), area code (without leading zero) and extension. Example: +49 2404 123456

When you call from a connection that you have defined as “trusted”, you need not enter the PIN regardless the access mode.

NOTE: Defining a trusted number is particularly useful for retrieving messages from your mailbox via the Callback Access while being on the road. All new messages are then continuously put out without any user action.

• Configuring the Forwarding Mode with programmable actions that can then be triggered by the caller via the telephone keypad. You find this option in the Voicemail system settings page of the Web Assistant. To configure a forwarding, click the Change key(s)... link. The Forward Access menu page opens.On this page you specify the form (action) and key number of the forwarding. First of all, you can decide which call type you wish to forward, for example, Internal calls, External calls or After-hours greeting. If you select Alternate greeting, all incoming calls will be forwarded. Now determine the forwarding action and the phone key to be pushed by the caller.

• Creating time profiles. Via time profiles you can define the playback of specific greetings to the minute.

• Selecting the default printer or default fax-output-device.You can specify which default printer or default fax-output-device should be offered in the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail menu in the Web Assistant under Personal settings > Default output devices.

• Configuring and using guest mailboxes.

NOTE: A user can only configure guest mailboxes if he/she is accordingly privileged.

Settings you can alternatively perform via the Web Assistant:

• PIN modification. See Section 2.2.7.4, “Changing the PIN (Privilege)”, on page 72 in this manual.

• Configuring a referral extension. See Section 2.2.6.4, “Specifying the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail Referral Extension (Privilege)”, on page 61 in this manual.

NOTE: You find detailed information on the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail setting options available via the Web Assistant in the Web Assistant manual.

1.2.2 User Prompts

The prompts in the mailbox are issued in the form of spoken greetings. You can listen to these announcements on your telephone. If you use a telephone from the optiset series with an alphanumeric display in conjunction with a PBX of type Hicom 300 or HiPath 4000, the user prompts will also be issued visually via this display.

These announcements prompt you, for example, to enter certain digit keys to select a feature or to enter a number or a PIN.

All inputs for mailbox utilization can be performed using the dialing keypad, in other words, with the digit keys 0 to 9, the * (star) key and the # (pound) key.

1.2.2.1 Voice-only Users

Voice-only users can only deploy the message type voicemail. For voice-only users considerably shorter greetings are used in PhoneMail by default. In this setting merely the message body and not the header is played via the telephone interface. The administrator may prevent the use of shortened greetings via configuration, though.

NOTE: In case of abbreviated user prompts some menu greetings are completely hidden. In other words, the menu functions are still available but not announced.

NOTE: If you select the abbreviated-user-prompts feature to access your mailbox, the greetings for the current menu are played in their comprehensive form when repeated. Greetings are always repeated when you do not push a key within a specific period.

1.2.2.3 Repeating System Greetings

The announcement is repeated after a few seconds if you do not push any key when prompted to do so. To hear a prompt again, simply wait until it is repeated. This is useful, for example, if you did not hear the announcement properly. If an announcement is issued for the second time, you will automatically receive a notice how to request help.

If you fail to push any key after the announcement has been played for the second time and the prompt has been repeated, the system will cancel the function after five seconds.

1.2.2.4 Requesting Help

You can invoke help information by pushing the 0 key when you are prompted to select a menu item. Comprehensive help announcements describe the current selection options in the menu.

Help is unavailable if you are prompted to enter a telephone number or a PIN, or if a different meaning has been assigned to the 0 key.

1.2.2.5 Incorrect Entries

The system plays the relevant announcement if you enter an invalid digit, for example, when you are selecting a menu item. You are subsequently prompted to repeat the entry.

Access Options

2 Operating your Mailbox with OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail

2.1 Access Options

NOTE: The default configuration of the system only allows one mailbox access via one user interface. For example, if you are currently logged in via the Web Assistant , you cannot log on to OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail to simultaneously access your inbox. The system administrator can change this behavior. If you are unsure about this matter, please consult your system administrator.

NOTE: Also keep in mind that you cannot log on to OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail, if you have not correctly logged off from the Web Assistant (for example by closing the Web Assistant window). Not until you have been inactive in the Web Assistant for a specific period, 10 minutes by default, you will be automatically logged off for security reasons.

OpenScape Xpressions users have the following access options:

• You can dial your own mailbox (Direct Access)

Dial the service access number for direct access and enter your phone number and a PIN to log on to the server.

NOTE: If your telephone configuration allows polling messages without user identification, you need not enter a PIN.

You now have access to all messages stored in your mailbox and to your mailbox settings. You can record messages for other users and subsequently send these messages.

For details on Direct Access operation please refer to Section 2.2, “Using your own Mailbox (Direct Access)”, on page 28.



Bedienung.fm

Access Options

• You can dial an external mailbox (Guest Access)

Dial the service access number for guest access and dial the extension number of the required user. You can leave a message in the user’s mailbox or be transferred to a referral extension. This depends on how the user has set his/her answering options.

NOTE: When you call a mailbox where leaving messages is prohibited you are automatically switched back to the Guest Access.

For details on Guest Access operation please refer to Section 2.3, “Dialing an external Mailbox (Guest Access or Universal Access)”, on page 82. This type of access is not applicable when service Voice is not active.

• You can dial an external mailbox and access your own mailbox (Universal Access)

This is the same as guest access with the additional option of being able to access your own mailbox.

• You can re-direct callers who dial your extension to your mailbox (Forward Access)

Calls received at your extension are then forwarded to your mailbox. Callers can leave a message for you in your mailbox. In this way you can use the mailbox as an answering machine. For details on Forward Access operation please refer to Section 2.4, “Call Forwarding (Forward Access)”, on page 84. This type of access is not applicable when service Voice is not active.

• You can transfer callers to your mailbox (Transfer Access)

You can specifically connect a caller to a mailbox. This option is of particular interest if you are responsible for switching calls. You can configure this option for the following situations:

– It should be possible for a caller to record a message for another subscriber.

– It is not possible for a caller to enter a subscriber's extension (e.g. for pulse dialing with dial).

– This extension is to be hidden from the caller

• You can quickly access your mailbox via the Callback access. You can also query your mailbox with the mailbox key on your telephone, if new messages have arrived.

Access with this number corresponds to Direct Access, with the exception that the user need not enter his/her phone number, as the terminal device’s phone number is used. It also means that this access type can only be used from a user’s own telephone or after identification vis-à-vis the PBX.

NOTE: This feature requires corresponding skills in the applied devices and the applied PBX.

For details on Callback Access operation please refer to Section 2.5, “Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)”, on page 86.

• A call automatically informs you when new messages have arrived in your mailbox (Outcall Access)

The same functions that are provided with the Callback Access option are available here. For details on Callback Access operation please refer to Section 2.5, “Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)”, on page 86.

• Voice mails – optional: You can directly play such messages.

• Fax messages – optional:You can put out messages of this type on your default printer or on a fax device.

• E-mail (optional):

• Inbox:

Incoming messages are automatically placed in this default folder.

• "Saved Messages" folder:

This folder contains saved messages.

• Outbox messages:

This category includes messages that you recorded during the current connection session (see Section 2.2.4, “Sending Voicemails (Privilege)”, on page 46). These can be:

2.2.3.1 Message Editing

To retrieve/listen to messages:

After you have invoked the “play/edit messages” menu you will first be informed whether status reports have been delivered to your mailbox. If no status reports are available, the system starts directly with the message information output. These status reports contain information on the messages you sent. They are imbedded in a kind of message header as you know it from other message types. The status reports are combined in the status groups: send confirmations, read confirmations and failed-delivery messages. They are continuously announced with the number of available status reports in the sequence: send confirmations, read confirmations and failed-delivery messages.

While the status groups are being played you can listen to the status reports contained therein as follows:

NOTE: The administrator may set that an entry is always required after a status group has been announced. With 3 you reach the status report output and with # you switch to the next status group. When the last status group has been announced, you automatically reach the output of information about your current mailbox content.

If messages are in your mailbox, the following message information is put out after the status reports:

• how many messages are stored in your mailbox that are unread, read or need to be sent

• how many of these belong to which type (voice message, fax, e-mail).

If you have activated the Xpressions folder support, the name of the folder the messages of which are currently put out is announced before the message information.

If you have configured your mailbox to allow filtering specific messages (for example e-mails or read messages), such messages will not be indicated by announcement when you edit your mailbox by telephone. To retrieve messages of this type, you must change your mailbox settings (see Section 2.2.7, “Mailbox Options (Privilege)”, on page 68), or access your mailbox via a PC client program.

Depending on the incoming messages and the system configuration you can call the following features here:

Dial your own mailbox (see Section 2.2.1, “Dialing your own Mailbox”, on page 30).

3 Push 3 in the main menu to retrieve/play messages (see Section 2.2.2, “Selection Options in the Main Menu (Overview)”, on page 32).If your mailbox does not contain any messages, an announcement will immediately inform you about this after you have pushed 3.Or:

2.2.6 Answering Options (Privilege)

You use the answering options to define how calls that are forwarded to your mailbox are handled. Calls are forwarded to your mailbox if your extension is busy or if you do not answer the call (your system administrator must have configured this option) or if you have programmed call forwarding to your mailbox. If you can access your private settings via the web-based configuration interface (see OpenScape Xpressions Client WebAssistant manual under “Time Profiles”), you can modify the answering options there as well.

The answering options include:

• GreetingsYou find operating information in Section 2.2.6.2, “Greetings and Answering Mode”, on page 56.

Callers who call your mailbox or are directed to it are received with a welcome greeting. A system greeting is set as default first. To configure the system for your requirements you can record individual greetings and activate them according to their purpose.

Greetings can be configured in two operation modes:

– Simple ModeIn simple mode you can record and activate exactly one greeting for each greeting type.

– Extended ModeHere you can record nine greetings. From these nine greetings you then assign the desired greetings to the single greeting types.

The following greeting types are available, sorted according to priority:

– Temporary greetingsTemporary greetings serve to fast and easily record greetings that are only valid for a limited period.Two types of temporary greetings are available:

Today greetingThe validity of this greeting expires at 00:00 o'clock of the same day. Subsequently, the greetings will be played again as previously configured. Activating this type of greeting disables all other greeting types.

Out of office greeting:This greeting type allows the user to freely configure the period of validity. It ends at 00:00 o'clock of the date the user has specified. Subsequently, the greetings will be played again as previously configured. Activating this type of greeting disables all other greeting types.

– Alternate greeting:You can define an alternate greeting. This means that you can configure a greeting to be used for a medium-term period (several days). If this greeting is set, it will be used exclusively for an incoming call. This setting disables any other greetings set for internal calls, external calls, or calls with busy line. All callers trying to reach you during the business hours will receive this greeting. Only outside these business hours the greeting you have defined for “outside business hours” will be played .

NOTE: It is possible to configure the system via a configuration setting to also play the alternate greeting for calls coming in outside business hours. In case of doubt please ask your administrator.


Bedienung.fm



– Personal greeting for external and internal callers:One private greeting can be set for external callers and another for internal callers. You may want to have a more formal greeting for external callers. You can inform internal callers of your current whereabouts, for example.

– Greeting when extension is busy:The callers always receive this announcement when the telephone is busy. Thus it is possible to configure a greeting to inform the caller that someone speaks on the line and give the deputy's number.

– After hours greeting:This greeting is played back to callers who dial an extension outside of business hours. You can use this greeting to notify callers of your office’s business hours. Business hours are programmed via the web-based configuration interface (see OpenScape Xpressions WebAssistant manual) under “Time Profiles”.

• Toggling Answering Machine Mode/Infobox ModeIn simple mode this switch is performed from the answering options menu and is globally valid for all greetings.Preventing callers from leaving messages is useful, for example, if you cannot be contacted for a long period of time. In this situation, you should provide a message to alert callers to this fact.

• Recording and activating temporary greetingsThe find the operating instructions in Section 2.2.6.9, “Recording and activating temporary Greetings”, on page 65

Temporary greetings serve to fast and easily record greetings that are only valid for a limited period.Two types of temporary greetings are available:

Today greetingThe validity of this greeting automatically expires at 00:00 o'clock of the same day. Subsequently, the greetings will be played again as previously configured. Activating this type of greeting disables all other greeting types.

Out of office greeting:This greeting type allows the user to freely configure the period of validity. It ends at 00:00 o'clock of the date the user has specified.

• Toggling simple/extended ModeGreetings can be configured in two operation modes:

– Simple ModeIn simple mode you can record and activate exactly one greeting for each greeting type. See Section 2.2.6.2, “Personal greetings in simple mode”, on page 56.

– Extended ModeHere you can record up to nine greetings. From these nine greetings you then assign the desired greetings to the single greeting types. See Section 2.2.6.2, “Personal greetings in extended mode”, on page 59.

Depending on the setup scenario the user should note the following:

– In case of a reinstallation the simple mode is configured by default. When you start using OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail , you need to record the greetings first. Therefore you should at this stage decide which mode you want to use. In this way you can save recording greetings for the mode you do not need. If you want to use both operation modes in parallel, you need to record the greetings for both modes.

– In case of an update installation you only need to rerecord all greetings for the simple mode after switching to this mode, since in the foregoing system only the extended mode existed. The extended mode greetings of the foregoing system are retained.

When a user listens to his/her mailbox, the e-mail reports are announced by default. It is irrelevant here whether or not the user has enabled the edit e-mail function.Via the system configuration the administrator can define that e-mail reports are only announced to a user when the Edit e-mail feature is active.

Call Forwarding (Forward Access)

2.4 Call Forwarding (Forward Access)

You can set your telephone to re-direct calls to your mailbox. Use the call forwarding feature on your telephone for this purpose.

NOTE: In case of the Hicom 300 we differentiate between variable and permanent call forwarding. The way in which you set up the call forwarding feature on the telephone depends on the telephone system and the type of telephone that you are using. Please refer to the user manual and operating instructions for your PBX and telephone to obtain more detailed information.

You can also configure the forwarding via the OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail “call forwarding for your telephone” menu. See Section 2.2.6.8, “Specifying the direct Call Rerouting for your Telephone (Privilege)”, on page 64.

You must use the service access number of the mailbox for forward access as the call forwarding destination number. Callers who dial your extension number will be rerouted to the mailbox. Depending on the answering options you have set (see Section 2.2.6, “Answering Options (Privilege)”, on page 52), or which actions you have configured in the Web Assistant for the forwarding mode, callers may, for example, leave messages on your mailbox or trigger an action from the menu you have configured (for example getting connected to your OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail referral extension etc.). You can also have fax calls received at your extension (see Section 2.2.7, “Mailbox Options (Privilege)”, on page 68). These messages are also saved in your mailbox.

NOTE: Please make sure that the menu configuration for the forwarding mode is only offered when you have recorded and activated a private greeting. Otherwise the default system greeting will be played, which only offers the default functions.

You have the same options as those available with guest access if you dial an extension number and the user has configured call forwarding on his/her telephone. If the user allows you to leave messages, you can do so after the beep.

Control and correction options are available during the recording of the message (see Section 2.2.4.2, “During the Recording Process”, on page 47). You will hear a beep 10 seconds before the recording process will terminate.

Any pauses at the start or end of the recorded voice message are detected by the system and removed. The following additional options are available during the recording process:

* Pause recording, control functions during the recording process:see Section 2.2.4.2, “During the Recording Process”, on page 47.

Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)

2.5 Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)

You can quickly access your mailbox via the Callback access. You can also query your mailbox with the mailbox key on your telephone, if new messages have arrived.

2.5.1 Fast Access to the individual Mailbox

The Callback Access corresponds to Direct Access, with the exception that the user need not enter his/her phone number, as the terminal device’s phone number is used. It also means that this access type can only be used from a user’s own telephone or after identification vis-à-vis the PBX. The Callback Access is particularly useful for retrieving messages with the cell phone while being on the road. In this case it is also advisable to specify the cell phone number as trusted number. You would not need to identify yourself by PIN entry then.

NOTE: This feature requires corresponding skills in the applied devices and the applied PBX.

Callback Access from an internal telephone to the OpenScape Xpressions mailbox:

Callback Access from any external telephone to the OpenScape Xpressions mailbox:

After you have accessed your mailbox, your new messages are continuously put out.

NOTE: Continuous message output may be deactivated for all users by a system setting.

Enter the service access number for callback access.Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access number.

# Enter PIN. Complete your entry by pushing the pound key.If your extension configuration allows polling voicemails without user identification, you need not enter a PIN.

Enter the service access number for the direct access option including the CO number of your company.Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access number.

Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)

2.5.2 Using Callback Access with Message Waiting Indication

The following requirements must be fulfilled to allow you to use this service:

• Your PABX must support the mailbox function. The Hicom 300/300 E/300 H, Hicom 150/150 E/150 H and HiPath 3000/4000 systems currently support this function.

• Your telephone must be equipped with a mailbox key. Examples of Hicom telephones that are equipped with a mailbox key include Set 500, Set 700 or optiset E memory and optiset E advance.

• The mailbox function must be linked to the mailbox. Your system administrator must have configured this.

• At least one new message must be located in your mailbox.

You can only use the callback access service from your own extension or your own cell phone provided that the latter is known to the server.

The “play/retrieve message” menu is subsequently activated (see Section 2.2.3, “Editing incoming/outgoing Messages”, on page 33). All control options are available during and after the message playback.

Enter the service access number for callback access.Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access number.


Or, when the mailbox LED is illuminated:

for optiset:

Using the Mailbox for Calls to your Cell Phone

2.6 Using the Mailbox for Calls to your Cell Phone

You can have your OpenScape Xpressions mailbox additionally configured as mailbox for your cell phone. The advantage of this is that all messages are stored in one single mailbox, regardless of whether these messages were addressed to your telephone at your workstation or to your cell phone.

Please note the following differences in comparison to the conventional use of the mailbox.

2.6.1 Call Forwarding for Cell Phones

You can set your cell phone to re-direct calls to your mailbox. To do this, use the call forwarding function (you can normally choose between automatic call forwarding and conditional call forwarding on cell phones, for example, if your extension is busy or cannot be reached). Please consult your cell phone operating instructions for information on how to set up the call forwarding function.

You must use the CO number of the OpenScape Xpressions server followed by the extension number of your telephone at your workstation as the call forwarding destination number. Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the CO number of the OpenScape Xpressions server.

Callers who dial your cell phone number will be rerouted to the OpenScape Xpressions mailbox. Callers can leave a message in your mailbox or be transferred to your OpenScape Xpressions PhoneMail referral extension. This depends on how you have set your answering options (see Section 2.2.6, “Answering Options (Privilege)”, on page 52).


Bedienung.fm



2.6.2 Dialing your Mailbox

You can dial your own mailbox using the service access number for the Direct Access option (see also Section 2.2, “Using your own Mailbox (Direct Access)”, on page 28).

You can dial your own mailbox (Direct Access) from any (external) telephone:

You can use the callback access service if you dial the mailbox from your cell telephone (see Section 2.5, “Using Fast Access and Access with the Mailbox Key (Callback Access)”, on page 86). The most practical option is to store the access number for the callback access service in your cell phone address book.

Dialing your own mailbox from a cell phone (Callback Access):

NOTE: Activate the notification function (see Section 2.2.7.5, “Setting Notifications (Privilege)”, on page 73). An SMS message will then be sent to your cell phone each time your mailbox receives a new message.

Enter the service access number for the direct access option including the CO number of your company.Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access number.

# Enter your own phone number. Complete your entry by pushing the pound key.Enter the number of the telephone at your workstation and not the number of your cell phone.


# Enter PIN. Complete your entry by pushing the pound key.

Enter the service access number for the Callback Access including the CO number of your company.Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access number.

# Enter PIN. Complete your entry by pushing the pound key.If your cell phone configuration allows polling voicemails without user identification, you need not enter a PIN.

Automatic calling number identification of the calling subscriber. The number of the calling subscriber is isolated per ANI upon its transmission. It can then be displayed or used for other purposes (for example to open a database section holding further information on the caller if these data are available).

Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR)

Automatic Speech Recognition enables generating operating commands via a voice entry. ASR is often used in connection with IVR systems to enable system operation by means of voice data entries instead of entering DTMF tones. Via ASR it is possible to e.g. control IVR systems.

Callback Access Fast message output via a corresponding access number. After dialing in, you directly reach the output mode of your mailbox and can have your new messages put out on your workstation telephone, your cell phone or using the mailbox key on your telephone.

Call forwarding(Forward Access)

Control Mode(Direct Access)

See Direct Access.

Database (DB) A database is a store for filing data according to special rules.

Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)

Transmission of the number originally dialed by the subscriber to trace the rout of incoming calls. This is important with regard to special phone numbers (for example a hotline with 0190 number), since the provider (for example German Telekom) transmits a call made via these special numbers also to the normal trunk lines of the individual PBX. With the DNIS it is now possible to distinguish whether the caller has dialed the normal PBX extension or a special phone number.

Direct Access(Control Mode)

The Direct Access (Control Mode) allows the user to directly access his/her mailbox and all configuration settings (via a corresponding access number).

Dual Tone Multifrequency(DTMF)

Multifrequency dialing process or tone dialing. The terminal device sends a sequence of frequencies in the audible tone range for transmission of the calling number from the terminal device to the PBX or to the operator in the analog network. Each digit is represented as a frequency mixture of two tones, a high and a low one (for example “One” is generated by transmission of 1209 Hz and 697 Hz). In contrast to this, defined loop interruptions, generated by the contacts of a mechanical dial (pulse dialing, ten interruptions corresponded to a dialed 0), were formerly used to transmit dial information. In digital networks (ISDN), dial information is digitally generated and transmitted. Transmission of DTMF signals, also supported by digital telephones, can be used to call additional functions via the telephone keypad.

External prefix Privilege that can be assigned to a phone extension. It authorizes the user to establish external phone connections.

Forward Access(Forwarding Mode)

The Forward Access is an answering machine function that allows leaving a message when incoming calls are rerouted to the mailbox. The corresponding mailbox is assigned via the redirected number.

Guest Access(Answering Machine Mode)

Access to the answering machine function via a special access number that either allows leaving a message in the mailbox or merely initiates the playback of an information greeting.

Interactive Voice Response(IVR)

IVR is best imagined as “voice computer”. Instead via keyboard, entries are made via telephone tone dialing keys. As output, prepared voice recordings or synthesized greetings are played by means of Text-to-Speech instead of graphical elements made visible on a monitor. Examples of IVR applications are voicemail systems or an automated attendant.

Mailbox Mailbox is the term for the data directory in which all incoming messages, be it an e-mail, a fax or voicemail are stored for processing at a later date.

Message Store Generic term for the part of a mail system that contains the user mailboxes.

Message Transfer Agent(MTA)

The MTA is a major OpenScape Xpressions kernel component. It is responsible for managing the transmission paths of messages, dialogs and transactions.

Personal Identification Number(PIN)

Secret number for user identification. Entering the PIN is mandatory for accessing the individual mailbox. You can omit the PIN entry for mailbox access only via the maximum of three phone numbers that you have specified for voicemail retrieval without identification.

Redirected Number(REDIR)

Redirected Number is a PBX feature. In a voicemail system, a number is configured for the Answering Machine Mode. In case of absence, a mailbox owner can redirect his/her telephone to this number. If this mailbox owner is then called, the caller is routed to this special voicemail system number. The phone number of the originally called telephone is transmitted as Redirected Number and used by the voicemail system to transfer the call to the desired mailbox.

SMS(Short Message Service)

Text transmission service per mobile phone. You can send a text message of maximal 160 characters to a cell phone.

Telephone User Interface (TUI) Describes the telephone as interface for entering voice and other data. Here the telephone does not only serve to transmit voice messages but can also be used as entry device (via the 12 keys of the keypad) and, depending on whether this function is currently supported, as display.

Text-to-Speech(TTS)

Conversion of a text mail into a spoken message by means of special programs. In this way e-mails can be retrieved via a Telephone User Interface (TUI).

Universal access The Universal Access is an extension of the Guest Access with individual access number. If provides the option to directly access the individual mailbox by pushing the pound key.

User Interface User Interface is the entry and output medium that allows access to arbitrary system resources. This can be a client program (e. g. Microsoft Outlook or Communications), an administration program (e. g. XPR Monitor) or the telephone with its display and keypad in a voicemail system such as OpenScape Xpressions Phonemail.

Voicemail(VM)

Transmission of voice recordings to a mailbox. Voice recordings can be for example incoming telephone calls that are forwarded to a mailbox via call rerouting (answering machine function). Recording or playback occurs either via telephone or a sound card implemented in the PC.

Web Assistant The Web Assistant is a client (operating program with graphic user interface) that allows to perform user and administrative settings at the OpenScape Xpressions system via an Internet browser. This implies that these configurations can also be executed via Internet.

Welcome Greeting When deploying a voicemail system, the welcome greeting is what a caller hears first. This greeting may be a general welcome phrase by the system or a message individually recorded by the mailbox owner.In case of the Ergo voicemail system you can prepare up to nine of such greetings. Further settings then allow the selection of greetings from this pool according to their purpose (greeting for day/night operation, for internal/external callers).
